You need a WINS server that resolves NetBIOS names (that theophilus knows 
about and registers with). You also need to set the correct 'name resolve

manually in the hosts or lmhosts file.

You might want to run this in a KDE environment, and check if you could get it 
to work by running some specific KDE background service.
